The Cathedral Lyrics by Zack Snyder

Sucker Punch: The Art of the Film

2011

What better place to steal a map from the enemy than on a warped battlefield of the mind? The charred landscape of WWI's Western Front is spread before the girls as they gather for their mission briefing in the crumbling ruins of a cathedral. But this is WWI as seen through a toxic fever dream: multi-winged planes buzz about like swarms of angry hornets as artillery shells arc across a slate-gray sky laden with the whale-like shapes of observation balloons and zеppelins. And of course, their Gеrman opponents are not actual living beings anymore, but soldiers who've been slain and cunningly reanimated to carry on the Kaiser's war.
Their mission is quite straightforward, really: simply cross a No-Man's-Land that's withstood all advances from either side for over three years, make their way through the labyrinth of the enemy's trench system, and infiltrate a heavil guarded concrete bunker in order to obtain a map before a messenger can catch the next airship bound for headquarters.
This is the first outing for the girls as a unit, and they've arrived loaded for bear. They look as if they've looted a war museum, sporting a wide range of combat gear from medieval swords and flintlock pistols to modern assault rifles and submachine guns. Oh, and from some enigmatic future they've acquired an anthropomorphic Meka equipped with jump rockets, air-to-air missiles, and a maniacal bunny face. But all the deadly hardware in the world won't help them one bit if they can't learn to trust each other and work as a team.
